Talent acquisition is generally about finding and hiring talented professionals. As SilkRoad’s VP of Customer Experience, I love hearing these success stories. Personally and professionally, the best part of my career leading global Talent Acquisition (TA) teams or building global strategies with hundreds of leaders has been launching programs that hire some of the most impactful professionals on the planet.
It happens every year: we're with our friends on New Year's Eve talking about all the awesome things we're going to do, and then we blink and it's already June. With the last two years of uncertainty around gatherings and events, it's all the more exciting that we have a packed schedule of recruiting, sourcing, DE&I, and other HR conferences to choose from. Here are just some of the top events on the docket where you can get the scoop on the newest trends, tools and best practices in the talent acquisition space:
Entelo is pleased to announce and welcome Kevin Walters as our new Senior Director of Diversity! Kevin previously held DE&I roles in learning and development and a change agent role at Amazon.
A couple weeks ago, Entelo was a Gold sponsor at March’s SourceCon Digital. We were so excited to be a part of this season's event and Hackathon. Attendees learned from some amazing experts and HR leaders, and talked sourcing strategy with fellow colleagues and industry champions.
Here are some of our key takeaways:
Phew! You made it through a tumultuous 2021. Last year was tough for Talent Acquisition teams as most were forced to pivot toward remote hiring in addition to responding to high employee turnover in what experts have deemed the “Great Resignation.” Many are expecting these trends to continue well into 2022.
Entelo is excited to announce the newest addition to our leadership team! Carlo Caoile joins as our new Senior Director of Sales, and is responsible for driving sales and go to market strategies for Entelo.

We get it. Recruiters often source talent profiles from their ATS as well as in LinkedIn. It’s what Recruiters have been doing for years. While LinkedIn has proven to be an effective sourcing tool in the ol’ toolbox, it’s not helpful in building, managing & effectively engaging with diverse talent pipelines. More than ever before, Talent Acquisition teams are actively seeking new ways to attract and hire talent from underrepresented groups. With the increased demand for diverse talent and with recent price hikes and limitations of InMails sent per seat, TA teams may want to look beyond LinkedIn to source talent. Entelo Search is designed to help recruiters discover, qualify, and acquire talent. As the Global Head of Strategic Accounts at Entelo, I often hear the question, “What Entelo can do that LinkedIn can’t”. Read on to learn more …
Technology and research have been tools for years in sourcing, recruiting, and the overall talent acquisition plan at many global companies to reach success.
Earlier this year, Entelo hosted one of our most successful webinars in our company’s history (link to recap here) focused on Diversity, Equity and Inclusion. One of the key components of our webinar’s success was its combination of DE&I insights and best practices from TA leaders at companies such as Amazon, Schneider Electric and others but also being combined with the data and trends leveraged in Entelo’s database of 500M+ professionals.
Last week, Entelo hosted a webinar where our panel of experts discussed how the hiring market has drastically shifted with many talent acquisition leaders leveraging technology to tap into new talent pools. Our panelists included Margie Clark, TA Manager and Senior Executive Recruiter at Deluxe Corporation; Priti Sahu, Senior Strategic Sourcer at Intuitive Surgical; and Andre Boulais, Entelo's own VP of Customer Success, who also served as moderator.
As Entelo’s Vice President of Customer Success, I’m proud that each day our team helps drive DEI strategies around the world. I have the unique role of being immersed in the world of hundreds of innovative customers, including a large portion of the Fortune 500 utilizing Entelo to power sourcing and hiring their most critical hires. In discussing strategies with their Talent Acquisition leadership from all industries and locations worldwide, one thing is certain: TA leaders and their teams are facing one of the busiest summers in recent memory. Not only are there a record number of applicants, but sourcers and recruiters have become one of the most in-demand roles.
Over the past year and a half, the hiring market has drastically shifted with many talent acquisition leaders leveraging technology to tap into new talent pools.
